• In ‘Teaching [[Smart]] People How to Learn’, Chris Argyris points out that well-paid professionals, such as [[management]] [[consultants]], are very good at learning in a single loop, but not in a double [[loop]]. collapsed:: true
  • If learning is represented by a thermostat, then single-loop [[learning]] is when the temperature is kept at 65 degrees, and double-loop learning is when the thermostat can figure out why it is kept at 65 degrees, and then find the best way to fit that why.
    • Professionals are not used to failure, so they don’t know how to [[learn]] from [[failure]]. Failing to learn from failure, they [[blame]] outcomes on others.
      • By moving any [[talk]] away from how they were [[responsible]] for what happened, they take away their ability to do anything about what happened, and so none of the talk is useful for getting stuff done. [[power]] [[responsibility]]
        • People use [[rules]] to simplify [[complexity]], but the rules they say they used when asked are not the rules they used, as exemplified by the fact their [[movements]] often don’t match their rules.
          • The rules they use to make [[decisions]] are [[hidden]] by themselves, so it is not subject to [[change]].
          • Asking about things openly in a way that may brings these [[rules]] out into the open is seen as an [[attack]]. collapsed:: true
            • People who rarely failed do not know how to [[move]] when they [[fail]].
          • Given that [[defensive]] [[thinking]] is the [[norm]], it is hard to [[change]] anything by trying to change attitudes, or even organizational [[structure]].
          • There is a [[chance]] of changing things by leaders changing themselves, and examining and testing their own thinking aggressively and honestly.
          • If we assume the other is stupid or evil, then we do not have to put energy into getting whatever we want- we can say we can’t do it.
• In [[wolf]] packs, the dominant [[male]] chooses [[movement]] and gets [[food]], while the dominant [[female]] leads [[defense]] and [[raising]] the young
  • In [[lion]] prides, the lead [[male]] is responsible for territorial [[defense]], while the lead [[female]] deals with direct threats. Followers tend to be less injured, because they are not as quick to [[fight]].
